Simply untrue, Harry, but you already know that. Your posts are part of the
process, which simply evolved in a country with less and less sense of
ethical propriety. I recall numerous examples from '00 when the Boston
Globe would head up "news" articles from the campaign trail in a particular
way. When Al was stumping for votes, it would be "...Gore confers with
_____ group". In the same type of article about W, the head would read
"...Bush targets _____ group". Just that simple shift of words makes Al the
nice guy, and George the bully. Slanted coverage. There were also
seemingly unlimited ads from a variety of labor groups claiming that Reps
would cut school lunches, or cut medicare, when in fact what was at issue
was not a cut at all, but a 2 or 3 percent reduction in the rate of growth!
But what gets heard? Your kids will starve, and your old parents will be
left to die in the gutter. Literally - I recall an ad that characterized
Calcutta as the future for US if a Republican were elected.

And -- part of the dissembling is the revisionism that goes on during and
after the fact. Example: remember the whole Willie Horton thing used
against Dukakis in '88? Press and pundits loved to excoriate Bush41 over
that, race card, negative campaigning, blah, blah,..... In fact it was
none other than our old pal Al Gore who brought Willie Horton out of the box
during the Dem primaries that year, but there were very few voices raised in
righteous indignation at that time. Why is that?



***** Now, as a special treat, I'll save you the effort of replying by
entering now your standard retort:******

"...another Republitrash puppet..."

Puh-leeze. We'd need to go back a couple of hundred years to figure out who
"started it." Shame on you *and* Harry for insisting it was the other side.

Like the Hatfields and McCoys, after a generation nobody even remembers who
started it.

No person can honestly and accurately say the other side started it.
The conservatives have institutionalized it, however, with hate radio.

My apologies, Chuck et al. I *do* agree with your point above. In the
original draft of my reply to Harry, there was a sentence referencing to the
"slime alley" as a two-way street. In editing it got cut, and I failed to
notice. Mea Culpa.

But let's not intentionally *******ize the language or the process with
loaded buzzwords like "hate radio". There's no hate, it is just
conservative talk radio. Most true conservatives are embarrassed by some of
the pompous rantings that go on, just as honorable Democrats are often
embarrassed by some of the drivel that occasionally spews from the far left.
Words have to mean something, or the whole process is pointless. If we use
words as triggers or weapons, credibility suffers.

It's hate radio. The "hosts" are spewing hate. There's no other word to
describe it.

How is the hate you spew in this group and different than the hate on some
talk radio?

And there's no other word to describe your presence here either. It's
hate, pure and simple.
